Mangoes are one of the tastiest tropical fruits in the country found in almost every house in gardens and backyards, they come from India and arrived in Venezuela centuries ago.

In Venezuela there is a great variety of mangoes: Hilacha, snack, jobo, pineapple and many more. All mangoes are tasty, sweet, juicy and fleshy, but I do not like those of lint because the lint is left between the teeth.

The mango season in Venezuela is from May to September, mangoes are rich in vitamins C, A, B and B2, iron, phosphorus and calcium, they have natural sugar that generally does not need to be used in preparation of juices.
